This is the Blue Daze I recently planted. If it does well I may see about using it along the side walk when Hubby gets around to making me a flower bed there.
My hydrangea is doing well, this bush has blue and lilac blooms on it. I have one in the green house that is a mass of pink blooms. Depending on how the new addition to the butterfly garden does, I may plant it down there this fall.
The Bugle Weed (Ajuga) is blooming. The leaves look nice next to the rock. I can't wait for it to spread and take over the entire bead. This color is Burgundy Glow.
I love the Texas Star Hibiscus. Next year I hope to have a bed of it and the Haight Ashbury Hibiscus together, I think they would make an interesting combination.
And last but not least the Queen Ann's Lace is blooming.
Many of our fur friends both feline and canine have passed over the rainbow bridge. Rest assured they have a plant in the Whiskers Memorial Butterfly Garden planted in their memory and their families are in our thoughts and prayers. And on a happier note two special felines who tied the knot have a Gardenia planted in honor of their marriage.

Hi everyone, Charybdis and I had a wonderful time hanging out this weekend with the Tortie Twins, Holly and Ivy. You can't imagine how much trouble four young girl cats can get up to. OK, maybe you can, but no photographs no evidence I say. Suffice...

In the Garden

On a more mundane note we are adding a vegetable and fruit garden in hopes of cutting down on our grocery bill. Saturday we planted cantaloupe, watermelon, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, egg plant, banana peppers and a mystery plant that may be okra. And soon my blueberries will be ready to pick. It looks as if we will have a bumper crop this year.
